i have a amd built system, with an amd 8320 and a gigabyte 970a d3p mobo, 700watt psu and 8gb of gskill sniper ram, and i originaly have a msi twin frozor r9 270x for my primary card, i decided to crossfire and order a xfx r9 270x and tried to get them to crossfire, they will not work. they both work by them selves very nicely, but when i power them together with cf bridge, they say there enabled i ccc but speccy and cpuz and gpuz say other wise, i dont have any control over the second card in crossfire.ive tried mixing the config with msi on top and xfx on bottom and vice versa that didnt work, i tried unistalling drivers and then installing the second card and reinstalling the newest drivers. i dont know what im leaving out, but i out of ideas.

Does AMD still need a crossfire bridge? Don't they have bridgeless crossfire now edit: no thats only r9 290. Anyway, download Unigine Heaven and run a benchmark completely maxed out and report the results, gpu-z might be wrong.

my cars both have a bridge, as the xfx came with one,i would enable crossfirex in ccc and it would say its enabled but speccy says it disabled, and when i would try to see the activity of my second gpu it was completely asleep. and gpu would say the card isnt doing anything.
